The first 6 episodes were smooth, but than the plot turned dull and confusing. Plus the comedy element was a little bit weak, and so was the chemistry between the main actor and actress. If it weren't for the man lead, I would say this series painful to watch.

This is a must see drama. It has everything from comedy, to romance, to some action! I was so sad when it was over. I'm rewatching again!

Overall it's a pretty good show. Like the non romantic plot line. Some of the romantic plot line was alright. Though the lead female sometimes drives me crazy. I don't want to give any spoilers but, she's dated before and still does stupid stuff that's inappropriate. She's always getting mad at the male lead over dumb crap. She's late 20's international age after dating for 9 years, so there's no excuse for her to act like she doesn't know relationship rules. The last several episodes were not as good. The lawyer got on my nerves a lot. (Love the actor, just disliked his character at times) Seriously not every Kdrama needs a frickin love triangle. I hardly leave reviews but I had to stop episode 15 several minutes before the end, to write one.

I loved this show. Transformative for all of the characters. Isn't it a great story when the main characters evolve, become more human, etc?

The main character Go Nan-gil is played by Kim Young-Kwang, one of my favorite actors. A striking young man with a complicated, devastating back story. His smile is transformative & enchanting.

Soo Ae is an actress I have not seen before. She was excellent. Someone who is skeptical, sarcastic, and troubled turns into a woman who smiles, is giddy and dreams. She has been engaged for 9 years - why?

Lee SooHyuck is your not very friendly neighbor lawyer turned museum owner. Prickly, detached, critical, sarcastic but with a bruised heart.

Jo BoAh is fantastic as an interfering, coworker who covets Soo Ae's fiancee, played by Kim Ji Hoon, a very handsome guy. Woo Do-hwan and Kim Young-kwang are adopted brothers, but will their relationship survive or collapse?

This is a complicated story with many threads, but in the end, it's a love story, life-affirming good beats evil tale.

The chemistry between the leads is palpable. Dealing with their history, they are able to lay the truth bare, survive and prosper. A must watch.

The music was awful, old fashioned and pretty much blaring throughout the whole series. I got to around episode 10? In two sittings but only by fast forwarding most of each episode. The story was a bit silly but entertaining enough and that was not the problem.

Again we have an annoying plain Jane female lead who would never have one model in love with her, never mind three eye candies? Two of whom were/are models in real life? Horrible whiny personality and, again Lee Soo Hyuk is reduced to the role of sorry fifth wheel as he was in Valid Love and High School King of Savvy. The only difference being that in High School, the female lead was a genuinely nice person and she had obvious reasons for rejecting him.

Zero credibility in the relationship between the female lead and 'I hate fat women/ugly people' Kim Young Kwang.

If only these romcoms could sort out the writing and casting, they'd be a pleasure to watch as the initial premise, direction and male acting is usually pretty good.

As an aside, the character of Lee Soo Hyuk's little sister, and the actress who played her, were a nightmare. Is this style of acting and scenario funny in a parallel universe? Give the whole thing a miss, unless you like LSH in weird suits and polo necks. I don't know who did his wardrobe but I assume it was meant to be a joke? Still looks beautiful though, before the great ps event c2017.
